When Fang Chen's group of four reached a certain depth, they stopped. They didn't dare act rashly.
"The temperature here has risen sharply. If my guess is correct, the mutated Dark Void Bird you spoke of should be nearby," said Fang Chen gravely.
Zhong Yu and Feng Yunzhong also carefully looked around. Although they didn't find any traces of the Dark Void Bird, they could feel a scorching aura.
"Brother Fang, are we going straight ahead?" asked Zhong Yu.
Fang Chen shook his head. "The mutated Dark Void Bird is abnormally strong. We can't fight it head-on."
"Then how do we catch it?" asked Feng Yunzhong.
Li Xiaoke smiled brightly and reminded them, "Have you forgotten that Fang Chen is a formation master?"
Zhong Yu and Feng Yunzhong were enlightened by Li Xiaoke's reminder. They gave Fang Chen a thumbs up. "Brother Fang, we'll be relying on you to catch the Dark Void Bird this time."
Fang Chen nodded and said, "I need to make some preparations. You guys protect me."
Fang Chen began to organize the materials in his interspatial ring. If he wanted to fight the mutated Dark Void Bird, he had to set up a mid-tier Profound Void Plundering Formation.
Only the Void Plundering Formation could withstand the mutated Dark Void Bird's attack.
Of course, setting up the Void Plundering Formation required a lot of materials. Fang Chen checked to see if he had enough.
Before long, Fang Chen finished checking. The materials in the interspatial ring were enough for him to set up another Void Plundering Formation.
Fang Chen then began to set up the Void Plundering Formation.
At that moment, Ancestor Bronze spoke from within the python sword.
"Use the purple crystal as the base and the purple crystal soul stone as the core of the formation."
Fang Chen was startled by Ancestor Bronze's words. "Ancestor, have you discovered something?"
Ancestor Bronze was silent for a moment. "I've discovered the mutated Dark Void Bird you spoke of."
"How strong is it?" asked Fang Chen hurriedly.
Although Ancestor Bronze was just a wisp of remnant consciousness, it was still far stronger than Fang Chen's yellow-level soul.
At the very least, Fang Chen couldn't find the exact location of the mutated Nethervoid Bird, but Ancestor Bronze could.
"You are no match for it. You can only place your hopes on the Void Plundering Array," Ancestor Bronze said.
Fang Chen nodded as he understood Old Ancestor Bronze's words.
Forefather Bronze had told him to use the purple crystal as the base of the formation and the purple crystal soul stone as the core of the formation. This meant that the mutated Nethervoid Bird was very strong. Even if the four of them worked together, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
At the thought of this, Fang Chen's eyes turned serious as he took out the purple crystal.
After checking, Xiao Chen found that there were still two hundred and ninety Purple Crystals in his spatial ring, enough to be used as the foundation of the formation. As for Purple Crystal Soul Stones, there were still thirty-odd Purple Crystals, enough as well.
True to his word, Fang Chen began to arrange the Void Plundering Array.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
Fang Chen shook his wrist and immediately, one hundred and eight Purple Crystals flew out of the spatial ring and floated in the sky in an orderly manner. Finally, under Fang Chen's control, they drilled into the ground.
Crash!
When all the Purple Crystals drilled into the ground, suddenly, countless purple rays of light broke through the clouds and intertwined.
"This is the time."
Fang Chen felt that the time was right. With a low shout, he placed a Purple Crystal Soul Stone into the control center of the array formation.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering sound suddenly spread out. The Void Plundering Array was activated and a majestic aura swept across the land.
At the same time, a loud and clear cry came from the depths of the mountain range. It was the cry of the mutated Nethervoid Bird.
"Hurry up and enter the array formation!" Fang Chen shouted as he pulled the other three into the array formation.
Just as Fang Chen set up the array formation, a figure suddenly appeared in the void. It was the King of Assassins, Zhou Kunshan.
"Hmm, there is a scorching aura here." Zhou Kunshan had just appeared when he sensed the scorching aura.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Kunshan's mind flashed and he was stunned. He immediately looked at the depths of the mountain range in disbelief.
"Could it be …"
Thinking of this, Zhou Kunshan was extremely excited.
Then, his body flashed and he instantly flew towards the depths of the mountain range.
However, after advancing for a hundred meters, Zhou Kunshan stopped in his tracks. He had discovered a formation in front of him.
"This formation."
Zhou Kunshan could feel the power of this array formation. He probed it for a while and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
"Void Plundering Array."
Zhou Kunshan said in a low voice.
The purpose of his trip was to kill Fang Chen. The owner of this Void Plundering Array was Fang Chen.
Roar!
A loud cry spread throughout the mountain range. Countless demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground. This was the suppression of bloodline.
The mutated Dark Void Bird on the bluestone was furious when it discovered that a human had intruded. It spread its wings and flew into the sky.
The mutated Dark Void Bird flew in the sky and looked down with its pitch-black eyes. It instantly discovered Zhou Kunshan outside the formation.
"Damn human."
The mutated Dark Void Bird spoke in a human voice. It flapped its huge wings and swooped down.
Rumble …
The mutated Dark Void Bird swooped down and flapped its wings. Countless spatial currents instantly surrounded Zhou Kunshan.
"Not good."
Zhou Kunshan shouted subconsciously. Then, his body flashed and he dodged the airflow.
Bang!
At the same time, the mutated Dark Void Bird landed in front of the Void Plundering Array. Its huge eyes stared at Zhou Kunshan and it said coldly, "Human, you dare to intrude into my territory. Are you courting death?"
Zhou Kunshan steadied himself and looked at the mutated Dark Void Bird. His eyes were filled with passion.
"It really is a Dark Void Bird. I never thought that I, Zhou Kunshan, would actually encounter a Dark Void Bird." Zhou Kunshan shouted excitedly.
Crash …
When the mutated Nethervoid Bird saw this, it flapped its wings. Immediately, a scorching flame aura shot towards Zhou Kunshan. Zhou Kunshan's figure flashed and disappeared into the void.
When the mutated Dark Void Bird was fighting with Zhou Kunshan, Fang Chen, who was inside the formation, saw everything clearly.
"Who is fighting the mutated Dark Void Bird?" asked Fang Chen.
"I didn't think that he would also come," said Zhong Yu with a grave expression.
"He's the expert ranked thirty-fifth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, the King of Assassins, Zhou Kunshan," said Feng Yunzhong.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Kunshan, who was flickering in and out of existence.
"He came at just the right time. Let him fight the mutated Dark Void Bird. Once both sides are injured, we can reap the benefits," said Li Xiaoke.
Fang Chen exchanged a glance with Feng Yunzhong and then nodded.
They had just finished setting up the Void Plundering Array when Zhou Kunshan appeared. He felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
However, there was no time to think about this. The mutated Dark Void Bird was more important.
Bang! Bang!
After a fierce battle, Zhou Kunshan was at a disadvantage. The mutated Dark Void Bird had actually discovered his body that was hidden in the void.
The latter's attacks were very powerful. In one of the attacks, Zhou Kunshan was sent flying by the mutated Dark Void Bird's claw. He immediately felt his blood boil.
"Too strong."
Zhou Kunshan said with difficulty. This mutated Dark Void Bird was at least at the third level of the Spirit Vortex Realm.
"I can't continue like this." Zhou Kunshan glanced at the Void Plundering Array and then thought to himself.
Whoosh!
Zhou Kunshan once again fell into the void. This time, he didn't wait for the mutated Dark Void Bird to attack. He appeared above the mutated Dark Void Bird's head and a large axe appeared in his hand. He directly chopped at the mutated Dark Void Bird.
Crack!
The large axe shattered and Zhou Kunshan's body was sent flying again.
During this process, Zhou Kunshan used the recoil force to plunge into the Void Plundering Array.
Seeing Zhou Kunshan enter, Fang Chen and the others raised their guard and stared at Zhou Kunshan.
"Fang Chen, right?" Zhou Kunshan looked at Fang Chen and asked.
"You saw the situation outside. How about we join forces to defeat the mutated Dark Void Bird?"
Fang Chen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The mutated Dark Void Bird discovered that Zhou Kunshan had entered the array and began to attack the array with all its might.
Rumble!
The Void Plundering Array shook under the attack of the mutated Dark Void Bird.
However, every time it shook, a purple aura would appear from the array base and the control center of the array, stabilizing the Void Plundering Array.
The Void Plundering Array this time was the most powerful array that Fang Chen could set up. According to Ancestor Bronze, once trapped in this array, even a third level Spirit Vortex Realm martial artist would not be able to break free.
When the mutated Dark Void Bird attacked the array, it discovered the purple aura.
Roar!
The mutated Nethervoid Bird seemed to have recognized the purple aura. Its eyes blazed with desire as dense flames surged around its body. Then, it dove into the Void Plundering Array.
"I feel the aura of purple crystals." The mutated Dark Void Bird stared at Fang Chen and the others and said coldly.
"It has been a long time since I felt this aura." The mutated Dark Void Bird sucked in the aura of purple crystals in the array and enjoyed it very much.
"What should we do?" Zhong Yu asked.
"Let's attack together," Zhou Kunshan said.
Crash!
Under Fang Chen's control, their figures instantly disappeared into the array, leaving only the mutated Dark Void Bird covered in flames.
"Humans, you have completely infuriated me. I will kill all of you and take the purple crystals here," the mutated Dark Void Bird said coldly.
As it spoke, it flapped its wings and bombarded the array with wild energy.
However, at the same time, the Void Plundering Array was also forcibly plundering the fire element aura of the mutated Dark Void Bird.
Fang Chen and the others, who were hiding in the dark, were waiting for an opportunity to act.
"That mutated Dark Void Bird is injured," Ancestor Bronze suddenly said.
"It's injured?" Fang Chen was startled.
"Nonsense. Otherwise, how could the few of you trap it?" Ancestor Bronze said.
"Ancestor, do you have any ideas?" The mutated Dark Void Bird was much stronger than they had imagined. He needed to ask for Ancestor Bronze's opinion.
